I went to a new dentist and I was able to see the difference in cleanliness and service. Secondly, I was recommended to do a dental procedure that would have costed about 5k dollars and I was told I had problems with my teeth, that I actually didn't. The new dentist I went to took X-rays and told me my teeth were fine and there was no problems, and no reason to do any procedures. Just a warning that this dental office may recommend unnecesary procedures that you don't need, and you should get a 2nd opinion somewhere else before you get a procedure/operation done here.

From the moment we walked in, the office was incredibly clean and very kid-friendly. They even have video games in the waiting room, which immediately made my son feel more comfortable. The front desk staff was so helpful and kind, assisting me with my insurance and making everything easy and stress-free. Dr. Romero had to remove one of my son's molars, and he was very nervous. But Dr. Romero and his team were incredibly patient and reassuring -- they talked to him calmly and even put on a movie to help him relax. The procedure went so smoothly that my son didn't feel a thing! At the end, he even gave Dr. Romero a fist bump This was truly the best experience we've had. We will definitely be coming back to Dr. Romero. Highly recommend!

Within 10 minutes I received a text msg. for me to come in today at 1:30. The issue is resolved and the discomfort is gone. The caring attitude is displayed by all staff from the moment you walk in till the time you bid a fond farewell. Ted (Vietnam Veteran)

I don't doubt her abilities, but the style was off-putting for me. I realize that every person, culture has it's style, but this one didn't suit me. The ugly: On my last visit, I was overcharged for service that they should have rightly charged my dental insurance for. I made a claim with my dental insurer and they ruled in my favor and reimbursed me. I understand that a medical provider is entitled to make a living, but not at the expense of a patient's trust.

For me, feeling comfortable while sitting in a dental chair (mouth open for what feels like forever) is essential, and they truly excel at putting me at ease. They take the time to explain procedures, check in throughout the appointment, and ensure everything is done thoroughly and thoughtfully. I've had my wisdom teeth removed, routine cleanings, and crowns placed and every experience has been smooth and professional, with excellent results. Their office runs efficiently, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients' comfort and long-term dental health. I have had no complaints with any service and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dental team.

I started seeing him when I lived in West LA, and even though I now live in Burbank he is still my dentist. I hope that speaks to the confidence Dr. Albertson inspires in me as his patient, because nobody would brave that traffic if they didn't have to. Dr. Albertson is calm and skilled. He is delicate and concerned with your comfort. After filling a cavity and sanding down the excess, he adamantly tells me to be picky with whether the filling feels right, and if it doesn't he'll sand the filling until it feels natural.

I've been with my dentist for 17 years, 10+ of those years moved up to the Bay Area and making the 5-6hr commute back and forth. Well, life happens and during my last check with Most Awesome General Dentist; turns out I need a root canal and was recommended to Dr. John Pratte as a "Diplomate" dentist. What is that? I asked a robot and this is what I learned: Achieving diplomate status in dentistry, particularly for specialties like endodontics, is a prestigious accomplishment that represents the highest level of expertise in the field. Here's what it generally involves: 1. Advanced Education and Specialty Training: After earning a dental degree (e.g., DDS or DMD), a dentist must complete additional years of postgraduate training in their specialty, such as endodontics, periodontics, or orthodontics. This involves clinical, hands-on training and deep study of the specialty. 2. Board Certification: To become a diplomate, a dentist must pass rigorous board certification exams specific to their specialty. This typically includes: Written Exam: Testing the candidate's knowledge of all facets of their specialty. Clinical Exam or Case Presentations: Submitting complex case studies or undergoing a practical exam to demonstrate hands-on expertise and problem-solving abilities in their specialty. Oral Exam: Being questioned by a board of experts on clinical cases, treatment planning, and specialized knowledge to assess clinical judgment and expertise. 3. Experience and Case Portfolio: Many boards require candidates to complete and submit a portfolio of complex cases they've treated successfully, showcasing their proficiency and commitment to high standards of care. 4. Continuing Education and Recertification: Once they achieve diplomate status, many boards require ongoing continuing education and periodic recertification to ensure they remain up-to-date with advancements in their field. 5. Commitment to Excellence: Diplomates are often required to uphold strict ethical standards and demonstrate a commitment to advancing their specialty through research, teaching, or service within the professional community. In short, becoming a diplomate is a mark of dedication, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to providing the highest standard of patient care in their specialty. It signifies that the practitioner has gone well beyond the basic requirements of dental practice. _______________________ So I just want to say that I highly appreciate the expertly skilled precision of Dr. Pratte's deft and nimble hands. He has a very professional demeanor while also being quite warm and personable. (And those diplomate credentials tell you that you're getting the very best of the very best!!!)

I've had good teeth my whole life and I recently realized this dentist lied to me multiple times…read moreabout needing fillings for cavities that weren't actually real cavities. He uses this light technology and convinced me that some natural grooves on my tooth were tooth decay and rudely answered that he knew better when I asked how he knew that wasn't just natural tooth texture. I came back for fillings and even his assistant looked confused when we were drilling as he overexplained the "cavities". I got skeptical and the dentist refused to show me the X-rays after he did the fillings. The next time I came he tried to convince me on getting more cavities filled but I did my research and pushed back and said I only wanted it filled if certain characteristics showed up in the X-ray only, and not his light tech. He also lied about nanohydroxyapatite toothpaste being able to fill carries when I asked. He just wants your money. I have 11 fillings over seeing this scamming dentist over the course of 3-4 years that I probably didn't need. Awful experience. Don't go here.
